Middle Class is the Revolutionary Class

Playboy elite as it happens. I’m ex-CW, so numb to allegations of Fascism in particular. And 'isms in general for that matter.

Its like the frankinstein novel innit - creating the monsters that come to bite your arse?

The working class is no mere side effect of the bourgeoisie, or intrinsic negation of the prevailing order, but the actual social historic creative force.

More than a grain of truth in that......I am both a Socialist eg i believe in re-distribution of power and wealth.....And an authoritarian in that i believe the will of the majority should be imposed....sort of dictatorship of the proletariat......
But i think that the people who ultimately needto decide what is in the interests of the greater good is the majority or even all of the people....
I believe in extending democracy,not limiting it.

I wonder what it means to “believe in” something. Is It more that just believing this-or-that to be true?

In believing “the will of the majority should be imposed”, given the actual prevailing situation where the majority’s will is to honour the various degrees to which beliefs are held across society as whole, in what way does your belief really contend with the current order of things?

I dont know what you mean by current order of things?

The current set of social institutions. I’m intrigued as to how your required acceptance of the majority’s individualism doesn’t undermine your belief in collectivist solidarity.

?

Social institutions? It’s what politics is all about comrade. No mere Victorian student debating society treatise on values, but the field of turning thoughts into collective action.

Come off it! You're a Clerical Officer with Bromley Borough Council.

To be completely honest and save any further speculation. I did come out of retirement a couple of years back to do some business transformation gigs with the odd council. I’m looking to move into the adult entertainment biz now.

Yeah, sorry, I should have said a Temporary Clerical Officer with a keen interest in pornography.
